James's aunt Toots is big int quilting and asked my mother in law if I'd be interested in a quilt for Ryan. Marge said she wasn't sure but when she asked me, my answer was "OF COURSE!" I don't care how many blankets I have, there is nothing like a handmade blanket! I'm actually using one that Marge made for James years and years ago and LOVE it. Anyway, she got the quilt finished and mailed it to us; I just have to show you all! She had enough scraps left over that she even quilted a pillow sham to match!! I was so excited to get it! Literally brought tears to my eyes! She used green with multi colored dots as the background, different colors of brown and then she picked fabric that respresented "us"; baseball - I love baseball and she has a grandson that plays minor league ball that they travel around watching, dogs - this one doesn't need any explaination, sand/sand castles - they live in Florida and safari animals - those are my favorites and our living room is decorated with elephants, zebras, elephants. I love how much thought, effort and LOVE was put into this quilt!
